Personal Statement
Ok.
Guys.. I’ve been told I’m a good writer all my life, but I have major procrastination, it is one day before applications are due, my teachers are ignoring my emails and I barley got any letter of recommendations, luckily receiving just 2 is enough to suffice. The only thing on my list now is personal statement, I want this to be the best essay of my life and I’m thinking of ideas, I just freeze in the moment of executing them, knowing my chances are depedent on writing just one essay :/ any advice?

Hello! Firstly I am currently in middle school so take anything I say with a grain of salt. However, I have some tips. Choose something you're passionate about! It shows if you don't care about the subject. Start with a hook to catch the reader. Use past tense.
